And so we’ve pored over Beatlemania so thoroughly that the
only thing left to scrutinize is the band’s secretary. “Who would want to hear
the secretary’s story?” Freda Kelly herself asks at the beginning of Good Ol’ Freda. Well, to answer her and
any other skeptic, 660 Beatles fans, for starters. Good Ol’ Freda was made on their generous contributions to the
film’s Kickstarter campaign. One fan even sold a single strand of George
Harrison’s hair on ebay to earn $1,600 of the $58,000 ultimately raised. Well,
there’s one story that hasn’t been told in any of the other Beatles
documentaries.
